Madrid: Spain coach Luis Aragones has named a 27-man provisional squad for a World Cup get-together on May 8, leaving out Vicente, Guti and Ivan de la Pena.

Aragones has stood by captain Raul and Xavi. Raul has not been in top form for Real since returning from a knee injury in February while Xavi made his first appearance for Barca, after five months out with a knee injury, last week.

Vicente has been struggling to recover from a long-term ankle injury and has not returned to action with his club yet.

Guti and De la Pena have paid for inconsistent form.

The 27

Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, Pepe Reina, Santiago Canizares Defenders: Antonio Lopez, Pablo Ibanez, Carles Puyol, Juanito, Asier del Horno, Joan Capdevila, Michel Salgado, Sergio Ramos, Carlos Marchena, Javi Venta Midfielders: Cesc Fabregas, Jose Antonio Reyes, Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Joaquin, Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonso, David Albelda, Ruben Baraja, Marcos Senna Forwards: Fernando Torres, Fernando Morientes, Raul, David Villa.
